- Executive Order Reevaluating and Realigning United States Foreign Aid – 1/24/2025
USAID is pausing new funding obligations and sub-obligations under Development Objective Agreements (DOAGs) to review foreign assistance programs in line with the President’s Executive Order. This pause affects all award instruments except Operating Expenses and the Capital Investment Fund Account. Contracting and Agreement Officers must halt modifications, extensions, and new awards, issuing stop-work orders as needed. Waivers for emergency food assistance and administrative expenses have been approved. Further guidance and review standards will be developed to align with the President’s foreign policy agenda.
